âWhat?â Amos Granger asked in a low voice.
Eudora George was so nervous that she couldnât hear that it was Amosâ voice. So, she repeated her question again.
âI want your phone number.â
âOkay!â After saying that, Amos immediately took out his mobile phone.
The group of women behind her looked at their silhouettes excitedly that they almost jumped up. In the next second, the manâs phone screen lit up. Soon after, Eudoraâs cell phone rang.
Eudora was stunned and said hurriedly, âIâll need to answer the callâ¦â
She picked up her phone and took a quick look at it. It was Amos. She immediately answered the call and said, âIâm going back soonâ¦â
âGot it!â The voice which was coming from the phone was in sync with the voice in front of her.
Eudora was stunned, and the mobile phone in her hand almost fell into the ground. The onlookers behind her were also dumbfounded. âWhatâs going on? Is that super handsome guy Eudoraâs man?â
Under everyoneâs suspicion, the man instantly wrapped his arm around Eudoraâs waist.
âIt seems that you have already gotten my number in your mobile phone. Do you still want it then?â
Eudora said, â⦠Why are you here?â
Amosâ voice was a little low. âCanât you even recognize your manâs voice?â
âWellâ¦â Just when Eudora was about to explain, the group of women behind her quickly showed up before them.
âEudora, youâve gone too far. Why didnât you tell us that you have gotten yourself such a handsome guy? No wonder youâve been saying that you and President Gellert are just ordinary friends. It turns out that you already have a boyfriend!â
Upon hearing this, Amos glanced at the person who just spoke.
âThank you for taking care of my fiancée. Iâll treat everyone to afternoon tea some other day.â
Fiancée!!!
As soon as this word came out, everyone was dumbfounded. âI didnât expect that she was already his fiancée!â
Eudora didnât know what else Amos was going say if they stayed there even a minute longer. Fortunately, her colleagues had not seen Amos before. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if the news was spread out.
She hurriedly interrupted their conversation, âItâs late, weâre leaving now!â
After they left, Eudora asked Amos, âWhy are you here?â
Amos pursed his lips and thought of the news that he saw in the afternoon. But his words changed when it reached the tip of his tongue, âBecause I miss you!â
Eudora was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Amos suddenly said, âWhy didnât you tell me that the warehouse will be officially completed today?â
âYou have your things that you are busy with so I didnât want to bother you with it.â Eudora said sullenly.
Amos frowned, he thought of this little womanâs words in the morning and immediately exposed her. âIs this what you wanted to tell me this morning?â
âYes!â
The two of them fell silent again. There was a short pause before Amos said. âIâm sorry. Next time, Iâllâ¦â
âItâs okay!â Eudora interrupted him.
She didnât want to listen to him saying ânext timeâ. He would always say what he would do next time. She couldnât help but feel helpless. She had heard these words too many times.
âLetâs not talk about this anymore, okay?â Eudora said.
âOkay!â Amos nodded. But, they would have nothing to talk about if they didnât talk about this.
When Amos looked over to her again, Eudora had already fallen asleep. She looked very tired and there were dark circles under her eyes. Amos frowned at the sight of it and pulled the car over at the shoulder of the road. He slowly laid her down on his thighs and gently massaged her eyes.
Perhaps it might be too selfish of him to force her to stay, but he still wanted to hold on to her for a little bit longer.
â¦â¦
Wendyâs was the name of Wendy Liamâs design company.
Kesha George entered the company to work as an assistant. There were no interactions between her and Wendy until this morning, when Kesha was being criticized by the designer.
âIf you canât even properly cut a sleeve, what else do you want me to let you do?â
Kesha straightened her neck and said, âYou are the designer. Why are you expecting me to do it when even you canât do it yourself?â
She had never suffered any hardships in her life before. She thought that she would live a happy life after getting together with Felix Meyer, but never did she expect that Felix would be sent to jail by Amos.
The Everpeace Group was also gone, and her father was sick. Her familyâs situation was getting worse each day, so she had no choice but to find a job.
But even when she was working, she still couldnât change her temper.
The designer was so furious that he picked up the scissors on the table and was about to stab her. At this moment, Wendy suddenly rushed out and blocked the scissors with her arm.
The scissors left a slit on Wendyâs arm. Some of the staff recognized that Wendy was the boss and hurriedly called the doctor.
Kesha was also shocked. âBoss, are you okay?â
Wendy shook her head and turned to look at the designer. âYouâre too strict. Sheâs just an assistant. You need to teach her patiently. How could you resort to violence?â
The designer nodded repeatedly. âIâm sorry, Boss.â
âForget about it, go do your work! As for you, come to my office!â
Kesha followed her with trepidation. While the doctor was treating her wound, Wendy said to Kesha, âCome over here and sit down.â
Kesha gawked at Wendy. âI know that you are going to fire me. Just say it. You donât need to be so hypocritical.â
Wendy smiled faintly. âWho said that I was going to fire you? Couldnât it be that I wanted you to be my assistant?â
âWhy?â Kesha said in surprise.
Wendy thought for a moment and said, âItâs fate, I guess! One of my friends has a similar name to yours. Her name is Eudora George, and she is my best friend. However, she doesnât want to talk to me now because of some tiny misunderstanding. Itâs such a pity.â
Kesha was stunned and suddenly frowned.
âEudora is my sister. I advise you not to waste your time on her. She is a vicious person. In order to be with Amos Granger, she wonât even recognize her own father and her husband whom she was married to for three yearsâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Wendyâs heart was at ease. It was like she had expected.
Kesha was indeed Eudoraâs family, but she looked like she hated Eudora too.
But Wendyâs face was filled with feigned shock. âDonât talk nonsense. Eudora is a very good person. Iâm the one who had let her down.â
âCome on, sheâs my sister, how could I not know about her? Since you are familiar with my sister, you should know about the matter regarding her ex-husband. She deliberately made him go bankrupt and sent him to prison. What good does it do to you to be such good friends with her?â
âWhat ex-husband?â Wendy hurriedly asked.
Kesha proceeded to tell Wendy about Felix.
Wendy was happy but jealous of Eudora at the same time. How could Amos accept a woman whom had been married before? And that even the people in the Granger family had accepted her?
âThat is impossible, isnât it? How could Amos be willing to accept such a woman?â
Kesha sneered. âThatâs because my brother-in-law didnât touch her at all. She was the one who had killed my brother-in-lawâs beloved one. That was why my brother-in-law hated her so much!â
âIs there such a thing?â Wendy thought and frowned. After Kesha had finished speaking, Wendy took out a recording pen from the bottom of the table and edited out her own voice from the recording. She then put the pen into an envelope.
When Auntie Agnes came to the company, she handed it directly to Auntie Agnes. âSend this to the address that is written on the note.â
Auntie Agnes looked at the envelope. âWhatâs inside?â
âYou donât need to know, just send it according to the address that Iâve given to you!â
Auntie Agnes glanced at the note. The Granger Mansion?
